Oooh, I'm so sorry! I used to get them all the time from braces. What you can do it put a little piece of wax on the parts that stick out. Your ortho should be able to give you some wax. It really helps when you sleep. To make them go away faster, you can take L-Lysine. You can find it in the vitamin section. I can't promise you won't get them at all, but if you take it everyday, you should get them much less and they won't be as severe- will go away much faster. Good luck!

Here's a site that has a lot of great information about oral canker sores.

BTW, the correct spelling is canker.

I have had ulcerations forever. My Dr. prescribed lidocane for pain. KANKA and orajel work well too.

your orthodontis can use nitrite sticks on them, my son had them at first a lot so ask your ortho about that? it works, also llysine.
